Manage & Achieve Change

Change management, success planning, technology adaptation, strategic planning, and more

Nearly all organizations have a defined mission. This is what you are best at, your purpose, and what you strive to achieve every day. But organizations also have a vision. This is what the future looks like when you’re excelling in your mission. 

See Beacon’s mission and vision here. 

Once you have defined your vision, once you have imbibed every member of your organization with the vibrant energy that a great vision creates, how do you get from here to there? 

Organizations apply change management methods and strategies to meet the challenges of rapid growth, adapt to new technologies, optimize a workforce, and achieve certifications such as ISO 9000. Change management should be an integral part of any initiative, regardless of size, to increase the likelihood of success. 

Beacon’s change management services involve a structured process to transitioning people and processes from the current “as-is” state to the future “to-be” state. Our diagnostics and readiness reviews determine how well an organization is positioned for the change. By developing engagement and commitment, stakeholders are empowered to own the change. By leveraging positive influences and removing barriers to success, teams and organizations are equipped to achieve the change. Developing and tracking metrics allows an evaluation of progress and a determination of success. 

Live your vision…

As everyone knows, change is constant. Change is both challenge and opportunity. It proves your organization is alive and vibrant. Your vision is not something you achieve; it is something you pursue. It is the thread running through the beliefs, attitudes, values, and structure of your organization. Beacon will help your organization prepare to live your vision and consistently drive toward something better. 

Our major services to manage and achieve change include:

Who are the 20-50-30 in your organization…

Best practices in change management tell us that, in most organizational change, the “20-50-30 rule” is in effect:

• 20% of the general workforce will accept the change
• 50% will sit on the fence to see what happens
• 30% will actively resist the change 

This means that project leaders and champions have a heavy burden: they must “pull” 80% of the organization along. Doing so requires:

• Finding and communicating reasons to make the change
• Training and enabling workers to be successful
• Motivating and rewarding new behaviors
• Monitoring and measuring to show success
• Guarding the new methodology or process from slippage 

Beacon’s broad-based, comprehensive change management programs help organizations navigate these troubling waters, enabling them to achieve the strategic vision and goals that stimulated the change. Beacon’s approach employs change management science, with an emphasis on cultivating active executive sponsorship and developing a coalition of change champions.
